The Ri245 Demands the Attention of Advanced Wave and Wake Sports Enthusiasts With a 24.5-Foot Machine That Blends Raw Performance With Premium Comfort.
Delivering up to 5,650 pounds of ballast in a meticulously crafted vessel that seats up to 16, the Ri245 is equal parts powerhouse and luxury cruiser. With ballast distributed across seven optimized zones, this boat maintains a balanced, level ride—even when fully loaded and pulling a rider. Behind the wheel, drivers enjoy a clear, horizon-level view, while behind the boat, riders are rewarded with long, powerful, and clean waves shaped by that steady attitude. The new Captive Touch Side by Side High-Definition Dash System puts instant command at your fingertips. The available Predator Power Tower (PPT) elevates the experience with a fixed bimini for consistent shade, purpose-built racks for wakeboards or surfboards, and a new High Definition Digital POV camera. Standard features like the new recessed walkthrough sunpad, six wireless phone chargers, billet LIT cup holders, and the Fast Mover Ballast System with 13.5 and 30gpm SeaFlo pumps add even more function and flair.

With its 20 degrees of deadrise at the transom, the Opti-V hull displaces more water, before any extra weight is added, while preserving a great rough water ride.
At each corner of the transom a flat triangle extends towards bow creating lift along the rear half of the boat for a level running attitude, front to back as well as side to side. Due to this balanced design, the Opti-V Hull enhances fuel economy and provides a much quieter ride than most boats delivering this type of power. With hook built into the rear edge of delta pad, the seated driver can see over the bow while pulling a rider without compromising the waves or wakes thanks to a level running attitude. The hull also deflects rollers, at the bow and transom, so big water can’t spoil your fun. It’s clear the Opti-V Hull delivers the best waves, wakes and ride - in all conditions.
Our ballast isn’t just big—it’s smart. It’s distributed evenly from bow to stern, displacing weight across the entire running surface for a longer, cleaner wave and a level ride that keeps the bow low and the driver focused.
The result? A better experience for everyone onboard—driver, rider and all. The Ri245 delivers with up to seven precisely positioned ballast zones that work together to move 5,650 pounds of water. And for 2026, that weight moves faster than ever thanks to Centurion’s standard Fast Mover Ballast System by SeaFlow, which cuts fill times by more than 68%. Ri Series boats take it even further, with 30-gallon-per-minute Fast Mover pumps on rear bags and RAMFILL Boosted. Pair all that with a 24.5-foot hull built to perform and room for 16, and you’ve got a wave that keeps the stoke going from first light to last ride.
Sometimes function follows form. That’s the case of our incredibly fuel efficient Opt-V hull. Optimized with triangles built into the rear corners of the hull that stretch forward towards the bow, the Opti-V Hull creates lift and balance when underway reducing resistance and increasing fuel efficiency – more than 50% better than any other sports boat out there.
Fuel efficiency translates directly into more time on the water and less expense for you. The hull design eliminates drag and creates a level running attitude for less resistance, so the engine simply doesn’t work as hard to push a Centurion through the water, whether it’s weighted to ride or not. You can monitor this amazing fuel efficiency on the Captive SXS HD Touch Vision Dash thanks to the Range of View (ROV) system that displays realtime fuel usage data. We love offering that advantage to you.
Ri RAMFILL performance has been upgraded. We call it RAMFILL Boosted—and it earns the name. This subfloor ballast system delivers 2,500 to 3,000 pounds of displacement and now fills and drains faster than ever, even while the boat is sitting still.
With Boost engaged, fill times are slashed by up to 45 seconds, cutting the total in half compared to previous systems. That means less waiting, more riding, and waves that show up quicker than you can grab your rope. It’s all managed with four stainless steel two-inch ball valves—no plastic, no hassle—and massive tanks that stretch from helm to transom on both sides. The weight stays low and evenly spread, giving you longer waves, a balanced running attitude, and zero bow rise.
Our premium Predator Power Tower (PPT) is exclusive to the Ri Series—and it shows. This sleek, elegant tower features a fixed bimini that raises and lowers at the press of a button, staying perfectly parallel to the floor to provide consistent shade no matter the sun’s position.
Four heavy-duty Linak actuators, each rated at 2,200 pounds, move in sync to ensure smooth motion and solid stability. Integrated hangers keep wet towels, vests, and ropes off the seats, while downlighting adds extra visibility after dark. For 2026, we’ve added an HD digital camera seamlessly built into the tower, giving the driver a clear view of the action behind the boat in real time. With a convertible bimini that zips open for extra sun, BombShell 2.0 board racks, and optional high-performance audio, this predator doesn’t just look mean—it eats the competition for lunch.
